When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1679 A Misunderstanding

Sitting in the car, Charlotte rubbed her round belly, let out a satisfied burp, and then sighed. "Mr. Palmer, you're really lucky. Your parent's cooking is so delicious."

"You're such a foodie, you find everything tasty."

Growing up, Eric was accustomed to eating exotic and luxurious foods, thus he didn't find much interest in the meals his parents prepared.

Charlotte complained, "How ungrateful."

She handed the generous monetary gift back to Eric. "Here, this is yours."

After all, she was just pretending to be his girlfriend. Besides, Eric had already promised to treat her to

lunch for a year, so it was only right that she return the red envelope to him.

Eric, however, didn't think much of it. "You keep it. Consider it your remuneration."

"You can just treat me to meals. I can't possibly accept this generous monetary gift," said Charlotte.

"Do you think I look like someone who lacks money?" Eric asked her.

A twitch played at the corner of Charlotte's mouth. Indeed, for the wealthy, this monetary gift means nothing.

"Well then, I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'll accept it, thank you."

She didn't open the monetary gift to check, but she knew for certain that there was a substantial amount

of money inside. This is even more profitable than going to work.

"Sure. No need for formalities. After all, we're friends." Eric drove Charlotte all the way to the Smith residence.

The sky outside the Smith residence had already darkened.

After getting out of the car, Charlotte waved Eric goodbye.

She didn't notice someone standing quietly in the shadows, his gaze fixed on her.

As soon as Charlotte stepped out of the car, she began to walk and simultaneously opened the monetary gift.

Sure enough, there was a significant amount of money inside. Charlotte figured no wonder it was so thick. Suddenly, something rolled out. When she bent down to pick it up, to her surprise, it was an enormous diamond ring.

"Oh my goodness! It's so dazzling." Charlotte hadn't anticipated that Eric's parents would actually place a diamond ring inside.noveldrama

Charlotte reckoned a diamond ring of this size would, at the very least, cost hundreds of thousands.

I can accept this monetary gift, but I definitely can't accept this diamond ring. Charlotte had made up her mind to return the diamond ring to Eric first thing in the morning.

However, before that, she wanted to try it on and see how it looked.

When Sven was walking toward her, he noticed a beautiful diamond ring adorning her ring finger, which

she was admiring under the light. "How pretty."

Women have always had a hard time resisting these pieces of jewelry.

Just as Charlotte was about to take it down, she noticed Sven standing not too far away. She couldn't help but laugh as she waved at Sven. "Sven!"

Sven's expression remained composed. He didn't respond. Instead, he turned and walked toward the house.

Unaware of anything amiss, Charlotte simply followed him as they moved forward.

"Have you eaten?" Charlotte asked.

"Yes," Sven responded coldly.

Charlotte initiated another topic, inquiring, "What did you eat?"

"Food," Sven replied tersely.

It was then that Charlotte noticed something odd about him that day.

She wondered if Sven had

encountered some problems at work, which might explain his reticence that day. Consequently, she didn't press him for more conversation.

Meanwhile ever since Cecilia returned home, she instantly retreated to his room to sleep as soon as it hit nine in the evening, fearing that Nathaniel might come looking for her.

Every time she caught sight of Nathaniel, she couldn't help but evade him.

The next day, early in the morning, before Cecilia even woke up, there was a knock on her door.

She opened the door, only to find Charlotte standing before her, eyes puffy and swollen like a panda's. "Lottie, is something wrong?" Cecilia rubbed her eyes.

Charlotte wrapped her arms around Cecilia, her voice choked with emotion as she said, "Boss, Sven wants to break up with me."
